Seriously, this makes no sense at all. Someone give me some vote trends and the lowdown of this match fast.

I've never understood why that whole 50/50 handoff thing even happens. It makes more sense that the incoming votes wouldn't really be affected by the fact that the two competitors happen to have the same current number of votes.

It's pretty obvious that it's rallying/cheating.

Yeah, Sonic's on track for a 3000+ vote comeback here. That's insane.

Multiple votes from the same proxy isn't the problem (that seems to be how Luster got caught and axed the second time). The problem is basically if someone has a bunch of different IPs they can vote from. I doubt Smurf has an army of zombie PCs or anything, but it's possible.


Well, sure. I could technically do that myself. I can vote from here and then from my dad's house. But like I said, that's such a small scale, it's not even going to have a real effect.

NOTE TO MODS: I don't actually do that, but I'm just saying I could if I felt the desire. If I win, please don't take my prizes! :)

Seriously, this makes no sense at all. Someone give me some vote trends and the lowdown of this match fast.

Crono built up a 2100 vote lead over the night, Sonic stalled as we got closer to morning, and it's been all him ever since the sun came up.

2 58%s followed up by 2 more 55%s?

Crono hurled everything he had at this match and is going to lose. What a testiament to the turn around Sonic has made since 2003.

It makes absolutely no sense at all though. Look at the numbers Crono put on Bowser and Auron and tell me this makes sense.

you mean the Crono that dropped 4% against a mediocre Bowser day vote and 6% against an Auron that lost a day vote to Sub-Zero that lost 2000 votes to Master Chief?

Smurf being a Sonic fanboy is going to open the floodgates to stuffing accusations anyway.

Ganon is nearly at Bowser's value in 2005, which is just right under Snake 2k5. Seeing him after TP is going to be awesome.

So basically the tran man is just totally acting like Bowser is overrated due to the shaky Snake/Bowser match and his "underpeformance" against Leon. And not only that, hes saying Sub-Zero has no strength!

For Ganon to be ahead of Mega Man, Sonic needs 50.84% on Snake. For Vincent to be ahead of Mega Man, Sonic needs 46.62% on Snake (all but assured).
